    Abstract : Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. It arises in the posterior fossa but presents with distinct histological and molecular features. Hence, medulloblastoma is divided into four molecular subgroups, WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4. READ MORE

  5. 3. Proteasome targeted therapy in arthritis models : effects on pain and inflammation

    Author : Aisha Siddiqah Ahmed; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) regulates numerous cellular functions by selectively degrading cellular proteins. It controls activation of the transcription factor NF-ĸB which is involved in the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators. The UPS regulates neuronal signalling by controlling levels of synaptic proteins during chronic pain. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of a targeted Drug Delivery System for treatment of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinom

    Author : Carlos Urey; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : Drug Delivery Systems; Liposomes; Pancreatic cancer;

    Abstract : Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death with a 5-year survival of less than 6%. The only potential cure for pancreatic cancer is by surgical removal of the tumor. However, most patients present with an advanced and metastasized disease at the time of diagnosis, leaving only around 15% of patients eligible for surgery. READ MORE

  7. 5. The development of a new combined adjuvant vector for mucosal immunization CTA1-DD/ISCOM

    Author : Anja Helgeby; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CTA1-DD; ISCOM; adjuvants; enzyme; vaccine; B cell; Dendritic cell; T cells;

    Abstract : The CTA1-DD/ISCOMs vector is a rationally designed mucosal adjuvant that was developed to host the distinctive properties of either adjuvant alone or in a combination that hosted additive enhancing effects on mucosal immune responses. Here I demonstrate that CTA1-DD can be incorporated into the ISCOM with greatly augmented immunogenicity of both incorporated and admixed antigen. READ MORE
